Hi!
I am banned from the room.
I figured I'd update the blog, because I am here alone and can't go far.
They are putting in a PIC line right now.
They approach it like a surgical procedure.
They sterilize the room and use ultrasound to make sure of the correct placement.
This will allow for a semi- permanent IV.
It can stay in for up to a year and will allow for blood draws, daily IV antibiotics and showers.
It's another step towards home.
He still isn't able to shower.
His pacemaker is gone, but the electrical lines are still in.
His blood is too thin to risk taking them out just yet.
They say there's no hurry..maybe Monday.
I can't imagine how good the first shower will feel.
It's been almost 2 weeks!
It's crazy the things we took for granted.
Maybe that is what we are supposed to be learning from all this.
Until later,
Val
